Call For More Diverse Tourism Experience

A local tour operator says there is a need for more diverse experience to meet the demand of the cruise liners arriving in the country.

Vou Dance Group founder Sachiko Soro made the comment at the Tour­ism Fiji Cruise Symposium at the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa on Dena­rau, on Saturday.

The company partners with local tour operators to offer Vou Hub cul­tural shows.

“We just hope we can offer more di­verse experiences,” she said.

“Cruise ship operators say there are different demographics for different cruise ships.

She said time such as now was good for business.

Ports Authority of New South Wales cruise development manager, Natalie Goodward, said strengthen­ing targeted infrastructure and es­sential services in remote maritime islands could unlock tourism devel­opments in Fiji.

Super Yacht Australia chief execu­tive officer, David Good, said the Blue Lane initiative set up by Fiji did cata­pult the cruising maritime industry.

“Fiji did a good job in doing that as we are able to maintain a lot of su­per-yachts in the region rather than losing them,” he said.
